Sulcata Food -The perfect seed mixes and plants for your tortoises Serving pet owners and breeders since 1998
 
 
Tortoise Pasture Seed Mix Our New Northern and Southern Seed Mixes are Here! Mixed March 2013. This is a mixture of seeds specially designed to grow your own tortoise food.  Our mix is custom blended several times a year and includes a variety of grasses and a few dicots. The mix is primarily grasses as this provides the best diet for sulcatas. Our mixes contain a variety of seeds depending on the growing season. These can including organic gold wheat grass, bahia grass, timothy grass, orchard grass, oat grass, rye grass, dandelion, bermuda grass, chicory, and other tortoise favorites.   Could also be grown in pots or flats if you don't have an outdoor place to grow them. We plant these year round here, and should grow year round except where there is snow.  Sold in packets or by the pound. The small packet can be planted in one pot. It is for sampling our seed mix. The medium packet is also for those wanting to grow a small amount in pots as it is not enough for a larger, outdoor planting. If you are wanting to plant seeds in large flats our outdoors, we encourage you to order a pound or a two pound bag. The seed does not need to be planted immediately and will stay viable if kept in a dry area or in the freezer. 2lbs will cover 1000 sq ft. Our seed mix is top quality - we make it ourselves and our tortoises graze on our mix. Our seeds are non-treated/coated and are safe to be planted with your tortoises in the enclosure. Never feed your tortoises prepackaged tortoises food like Pretty Pets, ZooMed, or Mazuri. These tortoises are meant to eat a lot of grasses and fresh foods. We have seen sulcatas fed a diet of Mazuri and other dry food only and they have had severe intestinal issues! People who promote these almost alway sell them! Specialty Seed Mix for Sulcata Tortoises (Formulated for Sulcatas and other desert tortoises, but good for all tortoises including russian, hingeback, leopard, red and yellow foot, and other tortoises) USA ONLY Sulcata Seed Mix Packets Sulcata Seed Mix by the Pound Packets are a great way to sample our seed or to plant in pots. If planting outdoors on the ground, we highly recommend purchasing at at least a pound.

Specialty Seed Mix for Forest Tortoises (Russians, Hinge-backs, Mediterranean, Red/Yellow foots, Forest, Box Turtles) - Our Sulcata mix is also great for Forest Tortoises with the addition of other protein foods and fruits.  This is a specialty mix we have put together for non-dessert tortoises. Our mixes contain a variety of seeds depending on the growing season. These can including organic gold wheat grass, Orchard grass, oat grass, rye grass, millets, dandelion, chicory, clovers, buckwheat, legumes, and other tortoise favorites.    This is NOT a complete diet for forest tortoises. Be sure to add enough protein depending upon your breed of tortoise (such as safe snails, chicken liver, etc) as well as a variety of fruits such as papaya, pumpkin, strawberries.        Supplements Immuno-Boost - Calcium Supplements Our exclusive powdered supplement to be sprinkled on your tortoises favorite treat. Aids in building your tortoises immune system by providing beneficial bacteria (contains a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms) + the added benefit of calcium for strong bone/shell development. We have also added NutriBiotic grapefruit seed extract to this mix, which is reported to help rid your tortoise of Salmonella (which is not harmful to your tortoise, but can cause problems in humans that are in contact with their feces). The only supplement your tortoise, lizard, or other reptile will ever need!!! Phosphorous Free! Normally we package the mix in zip-loc bags (double bagged). This mix is best kept in the refrigerator, tightly sealed, once opened to make sure that the beneficial bacteria stay viable. It will not be harmful to use it if it is left out- your tortoise just won't get the maximum benefit. We recommend sprinkling this like you would salt on your tortoises favorite food 2-3 times per week. This is the only supplement your tortoise will need - but please be sure to provide your tortoise with the proper food in addition to a quality calcium supplement such as ours. Our supplements are made with the finest quality ingredients of readily absorbable calcium. Our calcium is 100% pure with no silica or other harmful by-products. All individual ingredients we use in our mix are manufactured for human consumption, assuring that your tortoise does not have any contaminates in their supplements. Calcium Supplement 100% pure calcium supplement! Our calcium is 100% pure, readily absorbable calcium with no silica or other harmful by-products.

Elephant Grass Dwarf Grass Description: This is very similar to regular elephant grass except that it only gets about 4 feet tall. It does not have tall canes, but very short ones that gives the blades the appearance of  coming straight from the ground. It also grows thicker than regular elephant grass and is a darker green color. I use this grass to screen fences that I need to be able to see over. The nutritional value of this grass is also higher. (I got the original plants of both species from my cousin who was studying the nutritional value of forage crops at UF at the time.) This grass is not quite as easy to propagate as the big elephant grass since it doesn't have the long canes to bury. This must be divided at the roots, which is what we will send. It does not go to seed here in the US and does not propagate well from seed.  Dwarf Elephant Grass Root division - $35 with free shipping. Ships Mondays Only! We currently can sell to all states except CA, LA, TX, and AZ. These will spread, but are easy to contain. A perfectly nutritional food for your tortoise!!!
